Product info

 Are we alone in the universe? This question has captured the imagination of human beings for centuries but especially grew to a frenzy in the mid 20th-century, prompting Winston Churchill to request the establishment of the British Ministry of Defence’s UFO Desk following World War II. This division was in operation for sixty years and in that time collected reports of mysterious sightings, strange objects and lights seen in the heavens and even tales of alien abductions from observant (and at times rather creative) members of the public. UFO Drawings from the National Archives is a collection of photographs, drawings, paintings, letters and official reports from these recently-released files, as well as the curious backstories behind these images. From an account of flying saucers over Hampstead to the tale of a spaceship landing at a Macclesfield primary school, this book is a fascinating look at the experiences, rumors, hopes, fears and fantasies of Brits from all walks of life, as well as a glimpse at a strange piece of our shared social history.
